New Zealand will take on Pakistan in the warm-up match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Friday in Hyderabad. As a precautionary measure due to security concerns, this match will be played behind closed doors. New Zealand come into this match with quite a number of injury concerns – Kane Williamson and Tim Southee won’t be able to recover in time for their first warm-up game.
Pakistan, on the other hand, will be without their young fast-bowling sensation Naseem Shah, who has been ruled out of the World Cup due to a shoulder injury. Hasan Ali has made a comeback to the squad and it will be interesting to see if he gets the nod to start in this warm up match against New Zealand.
The pitch on offer at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad is known for its friendly batting conditions, especially in the evening when it becomes even more conducive for scoring runs under lights.
